Changes in V3.2
===============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Option SCREEN/K can be used to open NEXT's window on other than the default
public screen
+ Command ForceXAD (Amiga-X) forces NEXT to check the next file to load
by the XAD recognition routines. This can be usefull if NEXT doesn't
recognize an archive by its own routines.
+ Files which have been erroneously treated by NEXT as archives can now
be loaded (after XAD error message).
+ Improved detection of tar archives a little bit.
+ Added conversion of several html-tags: <Q>, <EM>, <DFN>, <VAR>
^ The char '\' can now be used also with the functions Copy, Write and
MatchFiles as shortcut for the directory of the currently loaded file.
* Keys for saving and printing are now different: * and Shift-P will now
start printing immediately, W and Shift-W will write/save to a file.
* Since 'W' is reserved for writing/saving the key command for Word statistics
is now '"'.
- BUG: Printing of pictures didn't work with printer.device V43 (OS3.5).
- BUG: The 'Goto line' requester had a wrong title (Tab width..).
